As someone in the know, I have to say you are completely wrong.

At that UAC, you could turn a nice profit just upselling users to join Match.com or eHarmony.com.

Your biggest problem will be maintaining a UAC that low at any sort of scale, unless you've discovered some magic bullet which means you'll be the next PlentyOfFish.

Do you have any idea what UAC you need to maintain in order to turn a profit via upselling? Doesn't have to be too specific, just looking for ballpark numbers.
